At the RPM Lounge Dyno-day my car only got 159kw's so I have booked it into Boost-worx for a tune and also to find why it isnt boosting as much as it should (AVCR set to 1.1 bar and only got .69 bar :) ). So if any1 buys it befoer then ill pay for the tune which is booked for the 12th of April. :P

Somebody buy this car! as you can see, the only reason why it made such low power is because lack of boost. I would buy it but it's a little out of my price range.

Interior shots as requested, quality is really crap because I couldn't find my cameras USB cable so I took them on my phone. If someone is serious about buying the car they will come have a look anyway.

Free bump for a nice 4dr, quick question were the side skirts on the car when you bought it? If not can you tell me where you bought em?

Thanks mate, they were already on it, the rear bar and the skirts are IMPUL i think they are pretty rare because I havnt seen them on another car in Adelaide.

Is this still for sale? Try the trader, a car like this should sell pretty quick in there.

Your wastegate spring is probably set to 10 psi or so and isn't letting the boost controller do it job, you might need a heavier spring to get more power.

Cant really be bothered with the trader, im not in a huge hurry to sell Sook and I would rather it go to a SAU forum user so I can find out how shes doing after I sell her. As for the wastegate, im not sure whats causeing it but boost worx are going to fix it on Thurs. I was devo when it only made 160 :D

can you tell me what mods you have fitted yourself and what mods in any were on it when you got it

also wastegate brand?

more info on the turbo one of your mates told me it was a blitz and come on at 4,000rpm?

All the mods were on the car when I brought, unsure of the wastegate brand but I can get them to have a look when its at boostworx's. The turbo is a Garret but I dont know what size it is because I was told its a TD-04 but Garret only made a TD-04 for Mitsubishi or sumthin, comes on about 4.5k.

Anythin else just ask :w00t:

was the boost issue fixed today?

still keen to come have a look guys meant to be buying my car tommorow

Hey mate, yeh it was supposed to be fixed yesterday but Boostworx have been flat out so it should be done sometime this afternoon im jsut waiting for the call to go pick it up and ill post deatils of what they did and new power output. Im free all this weekend if you wanna come have a look, after that im in melb from monday till thurs.

Cheers

Just picked it up from Boost Worx and it had a heap of small boost leaks that were fixed, only made 167 atw but Shaun said that the exhaust is restricting it and it isnt boosting enough. Its set to 1 bar but it will only get to about .7 bar. I have a piece of straight through pipe that can replace the CAT so i will try that in a couple of weeks when I get time, if it hasnt sold by then.

Its also boosting alot quicker 3.5 to 4k now and its nice and smooth through the revs.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
